    I know you can date Singers by their serial numbers but can you tell the model number just by the serial number?

    Thanks,
    Nancy

    Billy, this might seem like a ridiculous question but I thought that some place I read about someone taking two vintage machines and making the right cuts, etc. to make a longarm machine out of it. Have you ever heard of that? Or, would you recommend someone who wants to play around with two machines to make a make-shift longarm? :oops: :oops:

    Hi everyone! Look what I brought home last Friday. $35.00, cabinet is almost perfect, machine is perfect, lots of attachments and the original book. Not bad for a Friday the 13th deal.

    Wow Charlee, that 15 looks like a new machine and all you did was TR-3? The cabinet in amazing too! It looks like you re-did the cabinet - sanding and all, but you got that look with Howard's restore a finish? No sanding? Amazing!

    Wow beautiful!

    Nancy
    Not a lick of sanding at all!! :) I'm lazy...if I don't have to do a tear down and kerosene bath, then I won't...and I didn't have to! :D TR-3 did the trick!

    Ok , I have just gotten this 1924 Singer 99. She needs some work... belt, light cord replaced, electric cord with foot pedal! I wonder if there are electric cords/foot pedals with the three prong plug that is enterchangable with the 99?? Maybe someone could let me know via a pm. I also need manuals for her too. :) Thanks for any help.

    I forgot to mention, I got her for $11.50. But she needs work!

    Sharon

    I am attaching some pictures of her :)

    Her pretty face :)
